Happy Winter!
Woah, where to begin? DNT is back in action after the longest hiatus to date. After taking a much needed break from the label and a move across the bay to Oakland, we have six new tapes for your listening pleasure (well, two are reissues) as well as a completely new website! A new website has been in the works for at least five years and now it's here! Descriptions/photos of our most laborious batch yet are below, but here are the new titles:

DNT067 - Digital Natives "Long Homesweetened Entry" cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
If you're unfamiliar with the brolific catalogue of Jeff Astin's Digital Natives, then oh do you have some catching up to do! Take the warped Americana journey through a thrifted sound collage that sounds like it was sourced from a salvaged tape deck found in the desert. Professionally duplicated yellow cassettes with hand-glued labels and a double-sided text collage from vintage sources individually hand-colored with a unique DNT spraybottle-watercolor concoction.

Mr. Astin in an interview with Procurement Records talking about DN:

"I've just about always been fascinated with chance operations/divination; William Burroughs' 'cut-ups' collaboration with Brion Gysin, the I Ching, and Jason Nicolaus; all are very inspirational.

In the 90's, I would put together mix-tapes for friends and eventually came up with an idea: I'd lay all my records/tapes out in piles all over my bedroom and roll dice to determine which pile to choose from, and then again for which record, then which song, etc… Digital Natives, in general, is a mutant evolved from this process. The rules are complex and build the foundation for every track as well as addition of every other layer and the effects involved."

DNT068 - DJ DJ Tanner "Home Entertainment" cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
I first heard DJ DJ Tanner a few years back when I received a mysterious package from the label Warm Gospel, which included two DJ DJ Tanner tapes. I was immediately hooked by his use of mesmerizing found sound samples and loops. On this tape you get twenty songs that seem to emerge fully developed, then fading just as quickly..like a less avant-garde and slightly more expansive version of the Residents' "Commercial Album." This tape was recorded in March of 2013 and edited at Manifest Station. All sounds on this tape originated from vinyl. Professionally duplicated red cassettes with hand-glued labels and impressive home-entertainment-system-artwork, individually hand-colored with a unique DNT spraybottle-watercolor concoction. Comes with a 16-panel folded mini-poster/zine, also handcolored. Limited to 100.

DNT066 - Uton "Kun Korallit Puhuvat Pilville" cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
DNT is proud to announce this new cassette by Finnish ayahuasca-droner Uton. Jani Hirvonen instructs the listener to use stereo headphones. For a stronger effect, listen near midnight in a dark room (or with minimal light). Do not let anything else disturb you. Recorded in Rennes, France to four-track July-August 2010. Originally slated for release as a bonus cassette with "Echoes in the Wonderland" LP (DNT058), it now sees the light of day. Full color deep-sea two-panel artwork on pro-dubbed purple cassettes with brain coral imprinting. Hand numbered out of 100.

DNT064 - Bobb Bruno "Black Gel" cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
A warm welcome back to the tuff bunny, Bobb Bruno. "Black Gel" started as a synth improv on Korg Delta, Nord Wave, Casiotone MT400V and DSI Tetra in his bedroom, later properly recorded in same bedroom. Best listened to with the lights off. For "Years" Bobb was fortunate enough to get Sheridan Riley (drums, Avi Buffalo) and Cameron Stallones (guitars, Sun Araw, Magic Lantern) to play on the track. Electronics/psych head nodder. An edition of 100 hand numbered pro-dubbed and imprinted tapes with a scary mutated-bunny-swan design.

**************http://www.dntrecords.com/images/dnt033re.jpgDNT033 - Bobb Bruno "Clown's Castle" cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
We have now reissued "Clown's Castle" after being out of print less than 48 hours since it's 2008 release. Same music, same artwork, in an edition of 100. Here's what we said the first time around:

"I first saw Bobb Bruno about two years ago at The Smell in downtown LA. I had heard of him prior to the show (he also plays in Goliath Bird Eater and Knit Witch, among others) but didn't really know what to expect from him by himself, and live. He came out wearing a full bunny costume, head and all and sat down playing the coolest electronic drum pad I've ever seen. Some of his past releases have been dreamy pop, others have been heavy as nails. This tape falls somewhere in between. One minute there's beautiful synthscapes and the next it's heavy bass and pounding drums. Hand-numbered edition of 79 on purple cassettes with full-color piggie artwork by Bobb Bruno."
*************http://www.dntrecords.com/images/dnt041re.jpgDNT041 - Mudboy/Ducktails "Summer of Saucers" split cassette $6ppd US $16ppd World
The Summer of Saucers is here again! Relive the glory daze of a summery psychosis. Same creeped out G.W. Myers artwork, but this time we used a green shell instead of blue, in an edition of 100.

Here's what we said the first time around :
Well the summer is coming to an end now and I can't think of a better way to end it than with this tape, "Summer of Saucers". The A-Side is Providence's Raphael Lyon, better known as Mudboy. The side starts off by the lakeside, and you can hear frogs and geese nearby. It slowly builds up with keyboards coming into the picture before fading back to where it started. Lazy day at the river. It is also part one of his "Impossible Duets" series of songs. The flipside is New Jersey's Matt Mondanile aka Ducktails. Ducktails has been described by someone as "ectoplasmic and cartoonishly cosmic bliss" and with song titles such as "Chill Jam" and "Sun Out My Window" you'll be apt to agree. Colourful conehead artwork by George W. Myers of Grey Skull/Breaking World Records. In an edition of 100 pro-dubbed blue tapes.

Introducing the Secondhand/Used section!
25% All New Items with coupon code "25off"

Hey everyone:
Spring is here! I just got back in town yesterday from my sister's wedding in Georgia. Her and her husband have just begun a 6-month hike on the Appalacian Trail, which goes from Georgia all the way to Maine. Pretty cool.

Two announcements:
The DNT website now has a secondhand/used section! I will add items periodically, and they can be accessed the same way as all other items, but have a "used" label in the title and description so you know they are secondhand and not new. There is a link to the used page in the left column too. I have added some DNT test pressings and metal plates as well!

Secondly, I have a new promo going right now: 25% off new distro items (metal plates, test pressings, and used items are excluded but can still be in the same order) with coupon code "25off". Enter this code at the first checkout (the spot where you see "Apply a Discount Code") This promotion lasts for the rest of the month.
